CHAPTER 37 LET’S GO!
The twenty-seven-member maid squad of the Ye family, upon receiving the order, lined up on either side.
They cleared a grand avenue leading out of the manor for Ye Zhibai!
The head maid had defied the second miss’s orders and made this decision on her own.
But none of the maids would ever report her.
After all, they knew the head maid’s character.
Generous and righteous, never seeking personal gain, and most importantly…
There was a light in her eyes now.
The head maid walking ahead, paving the way for the eldest miss, looked so majestic!
Ye Zhibai followed with Guang Yu, her resolve equally firm.
Don’t worry… Head Maid, I will not let you take the blame for me.
Although I don’t know how much influence I have… when I see Yun’er, I’ll definitely speak well of you.
At the very least, you are completely blameless in this matter.
At most, I can help you get a promotion and a raise!
Thank you, benefactor!
The “god” Guang Yu, who effortlessly benefited from the situation, happily circled around Ye Zhibai while continuing to walk forward.
Her arrogant, ungrateful walk was still so infuriating!
At the same time, her light, playful voice echoed in Ye Zhibai’s mind once again.
“Yay! Ye Zhibai, I didn’t expect you to pull this off! Uh… but in the end, I still don’t understand how you did it.”
“To conquer others, you must first conquer their hearts.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“It means I was really nervous. Ask again, and I’ll pluck your fur.”
“!”
Then I better shut up!
…
“Miss, please get in the car. We will take you to Qihai No. 1 High School.”
Okay, but…
Where’s the car?!
Ye Zhibai looked around blankly at the main road outside the villa manor, not knowing which way to go.
The head maid noticed that the eldest miss might still be a bit confused, so she continued to lead her further towards the roadside. She then faced Ye Zhibai, slightly bowing, while behind her, the ultra-luxury sports car with its back door open awaited, her arms outstretched.
“Miss, please get in the car.”
“……”
Oh, now I see why I didn’t notice the car earlier…
Sorry, in Ye Zhibai’s mind, a car was something greater than a tricycle and roughly equivalent to a bicycle.
A four-wheeled car without someone leading the way was something she couldn’t quite recognize!
Embarrassed, Ye Zhibai awkwardly, yet gracefully, stepped into the back seat of the vehicle with her long legs.
Seeing Ye Zhibai get in, the maid outside quickly closed the car door. It was too hot outside, and the air conditioning inside would prevent the eldest miss from getting heatstroke.
Wishing the eldest miss a safe journey to the school, the maid quickly pushed the car door shut.
Ye Zhibai was dumbfounded by the sound of the door closing.
No way!
Guang Yu hadn’t gotten in the car yet!
Watching the anxious fox pawing at the window, too scared to make a noise, Ye Zhibai covered her forehead with her hand in exasperation.
I still have to save you.
Why didn’t you move faster? Did you see a butterfly again?
Ye Zhibai quietly reopened the car door to let Guang Yu in.
To avoid any complications, she quickly shut the door again!
But then…
“Meow!!”
“Huh?! Alert! What was that noise?”
The twenty-some maids around immediately went on high alert.
Only Ye Zhibai knew what had happened.
Just as Guang Yu was happily climbing into the car, Ye Zhibai closed the door, and it caught her fox tail!
How was I supposed to know her tail was that long!
Seeing the shameless fox’s pained expression, it was clear the door had pinched her tail quite hard…
Ye Zhibai, quick on her feet, immediately yanked Guang Yu inside!
The car door closed automatically.
Of course, to anyone else, it looked like she was pulling at the air.
Despite the rushed action, Ye Zhibai remained cold, calm, and composed.
She pointed to the other side of the car window, “Just now… a stray cat ran across the road, it’s nothing.”
“Is… is that so?”
The head maid couldn’t just take Ye Zhibai’s word for it; she carefully inspected the area around the vehicle. Once she confirmed there was indeed no problem, she personally took the driver’s seat.
She turned around to apologize to Ye Zhibai.
“Sorry, Miss… you see, we strive to ensure your safety 100%, but ended up being a bit too nervous. We didn’t even spot the stray cat… Hmm, there are quite a few stray cats around here.”
“No problem.”
“Alright! Please fasten your seatbelt, and we’ll set off! Um… you don’t know how to fasten your seatbelt, do you? Shall I help… Wait! Miss, do you know how to fasten your seatbelt? The second miss has instructed us not to get too close to you.”
“!”
Yun’er!
Human possessiveness… it truly is something that brings both joy and fear.
But fortunately, Ye Zhibai wasn’t truly clueless.
Even though she didn’t have her own car, she had ridden in taxis.
She grabbed the strap beside her and clicked it into the buckle with a smooth motion.
“I can fasten it. I’ve learned.”
“You’ve really grown up.”
Such relief?!
With all preparations complete, the Ye family’s convoy slowly set off from the manor entrance, winding around the street corner and onto the ring road.
Ye Zhibai observed from the car windows on both sides. Besides the car she was in, with two maids in the front seats, there were three identical cars surrounding them, providing full escort coverage.
Ye Zhibai sighed heavily in her heart, thinking, is it really necessary to go to such lengths just for a simple walk?
Then she remembered… oh right, I have a fox.
Turning her head, she saw Guang Yu’s cute face still contorted in a “mask of pain.” She was hugging her big tail, slumped on the back seat, looking pitiful.
Ah…
Thanks to the car’s music, Ye Zhibai scooted closer to Guang Yu’s head so she could speak quietly.
“Hey… Guang Yu? Still alive? Sorry about earlier… I shut the door too quickly.”
“The human world… is full of dangers!”
“Huh?!”
Ye Zhibai gasped softly.
Because Guang Yu… she suddenly leaped up and laid her head on Ye Zhibai’s lap!
The head maid, noticing the commotion, worriedly asked, “Miss, how are you feeling? If you feel unwell in any way, we can turn back immediately.”
Don’t turn back! It took so much effort to get out!
“I’m fine.” Annoyed, Ye Zhibai tugged at Guang Yu’s fox ears, pressing her down, “Keep going.”
“Alright, we have about a twenty-minute drive. This is the route the second miss takes almost every day. Please enjoy the scenery she sees along the way.”
Oh, to be honest, this head maid is really thoughtful!
But… Ye Zhibai had no interest in the city ring road scenery right now.
She was still tightly holding Guang Yu’s ear.
Wait… why hasn’t Guang Yu moved since earlier?
“Hey… why are you lying on my lap?”
When Ye Zhibai looked down.
Guang Yu’s entire body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Her little face was as red as an apple, and it took her several attempts to speak.
“Please… don’t move my ears now… please…! My tail still hurts from being pinched by the door…! And now you’re holding my ears… please?!”
“?!”
Guang Yu suddenly buried her face deeply in Ye Zhibai’s abdomen.
After a few convulsions, she slowly calmed down.
Everything felt mundane.
What happened?!
Are you car sick or feeling unwell?!
Frightened, Ye Zhibai quickly let go of her ear and held her head, trying to relax her.
It didn’t take long.
As Ye Zhibai moved her arm away, Guang Yu slowly lifted her head.
The goddess’s eyes were filled with tearful grievance, like a child sulking, still lying on Ye Zhibai’s lap.
She even lightly bit Ye Zhibai’s leg through her clothes with her small tiger teeth to vent her frustration!
But it was so soft and weak that she seemed to have no strength…
Guang Yu turned her back, refusing to look at Ye Zhibai’s face, muttering words that Ye Zhibai couldn’t understand.
The words echoed directly in Ye Zhibai’s mind.
“Annoying human… what’s wrong with letting me lie on your lap… stingy…! Mere Ye Zhibai…! Mere human…! Ah, such humiliation!!”
“?!”
What did I do wrong this time!
